Directions

Blanch asparagus in a frying pan large enough to hold asparagus in one layer. Bring approximately 3 inches of water to a boil. Stir in 1 tablespoon salt. Add asparagus. Cook at a medium boil until slightly underdone, about 3 minutes, depending on thickness. Drain on paper towel; cool.

To grill, brush asparagus with olive oil. On an outdoor or a stove-top grill over medium high heat, grill asparagus, turning frequently, until lightly browned and fork tender, about minutes. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Cool.

Meanwhile, in a food processor, puree roasted red bell pepper and next 8 ingredients. With machine running, drizzle in 1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil. If necessary, thin with 1 tablespoon water at a time until a thick, sauce-like consistency is achieved. Reserve.

Recipe can be made ahead to this point. Refrigerate cooled asparagus and sauce, tightly sealed, if serving more than 2 hours later. Return to room temperature before continuing.

To serve, arrange asparagus on a serving platter or individual plates; serve with Romesco sauce.
